🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Balıkesir Koca Seyit Airport → Balıkesir City Bus Station
💡 The airport shuttle drops you at the main bus terminal. From there, take a short taxi (about 40 TRY) or dolmuş to Sahil Otel. Cheaper than a direct airport taxi.
Balıkesir Koca Seyit Airport (BZI) → Sahil Otel
💡 Pre-book with the hotel or a local taxi app like BiTaksi. The airport is small so taxis queue outside arrivals, but they may quote higher prices at night.
Balıkesir City Centre → Sahil Otel
💡 Taxis are metered, but ensure the driver starts the meter. If you're going a short distance, it's often cheaper than a dolmuş for two people.
Balıkesir City Centre (Zağnos Paşa area) → Sahil Otel (near the coast)
💡 Dolmuşes run along the coast road. Flag one down at any stop—they don't have fixed stops along the route. Pay with cash (exact change preferred). Ask the driver to let you off at Sahil Otel.
